You see, I would say Pokemon. But, honestly, I have better things to be doing than chasing down Team Magna.

You wouldn't have to fill the same role as the hero, y'know.

Pokémon is an obvious one. Dunno of anywhere else tbh, maybe the Legend of Zelda games. Hopefully I'd be one of those NPCs that really help Link along his journey to save Hyrule, if I weren't Link of course.
